In episode 63 of the podcast, the topic is: Digitizing Medical Device Operations . Our guest is Dan Ron, Lead Engineer at Dentsply (@DentsplySirona)). Augmented is a podcast for industrial leaders, process engineers and shop floor operators, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim [(@trondau), presented by Tulip.In this conversation, we talk about Implementing tulip and i4.0 concepts into a fast pace highly customized med device manufacturing. Digitizing work instructions. Simplification. Personalizing medical device product operations. The future of the industrial frontline worker. Trond's takeaway: So much of what determines success with the rollout of technology in manufacturing has to do with simplification. You aim to simplify, you make the process simple, and you choose simple apps to start with. The end result is a simpler work process which makes you more efficient. If any of those steps are complex, you risk adding further complexity to an already messy reality of complicated supply chains, work processes, and workforce challenges. That's why customization of industry 4.0 approaches heavily depends on people who lead with clarity.Thanks for listening.
